Instructions for beginners
Even the simplest manicure for beginners at home should be done according to all the rules. After preparing the nails, you need to wipe the surface with the smallest sponge with an emery coating. This will remove all the unevenness of the plate and the remnants of the old varnish.
The next step is to degrease the nail. The substance is applied with a brush and promotes better adhesion of the varnish to the plate. Next, wipe your nails with primer. It is a liquid with a pungent odor that kills all bacteria and microorganisms. This must be done without fail, since the gel polish covers the plate with a dense layer and does not allow air to enter. Under it, harmful microorganisms can develop, the impact of which will affect the he alth of the nails.
After processing, the first base layer is applied, which already requires drying under a UV lamp. It is enough to set its timer for 2 minutes. Then the background layer of the selected gel polish is applied. You can cover your nails not with one color, but with several. Usually the ring or middle fingers are highlighted with a different shade.
The surface is dried again for 2 minutes. Further work is done on the drawing. The creation of a different design of a simple manicure will be described later. After applying the pattern, the nails are dried again and inthe end is covered with a top layer or fixer. After the final drying under the lamp, it remains to remove the sticky layer with a wash - and the manicure is ready!
Using dots
It is difficult for an inexperienced master to complete a complex drawing on his own. The easiest way to act is with the help of dots. This is a metal stick with a spherical tip. It is simply dipped into the selected varnish and applied by sticking points, placing them in the chosen order. A simple manicure, the design of which is made with dots, can be completely different. On a metal stick, the balls at the ends have different sizes, and purchasing a whole set of dots will make it possible to cover the nail with dots of different diameters.
You can apply them on a semicircle at the base or on the outside of the nail like a French manicure, draw a strip in the center, as in the photo above, make a full coverage of the plate with a decrease in their number upwards. In addition, simple drawings are also drawn with dots instead of a brush, especially if the ball is very small.
Easy Dots Manicure Design
Check carefully the photo of well-groomed nails below in the article. The background varnish is selected in two colors at once. Three nails are covered with peach, and only the plates on the ring and index fingers are covered with white. After drying the surface under a UV lamp, dots are applied randomly with dots, alternating small and large elements with each other. The main drawing is made on the white surface of the nail on the ring finger.
Drawn with a brusha semicircle in the upper corner of the plate and its entire inner part is carefully painted over. Large dots complement the bear's head with ears and a muzzle. The eyes and nose are applied with a smaller ball. If the varnish has a liquid consistency and the pattern is smeared, then wipe it off with a remover and complete the pattern in stages, drying each layer separately.
Applying kamifubiks
Manicure with simple varnish for short nails can be supplemented with silver powder. To do this, purchase a small jar of kamifubiki of your favorite shade. They are sold both in a mixed version and in single colors. You can choose any color and size of the elements.
Even a simple black manicure looks festive and elegant if you add shiny particles to it. To decorate the nails on the ring fingers, as in the photo above, just dip a dry brush into a jar of kamifubiki and blot it at the base of the nail. When the desired layer has been applied, brush several times from the cuticle to the top. Rub the shiny powder not to the end, raising the brush from the middle. So that the prickly details do not interfere with the manicure wearer, they can be pressed down with a finger so that they lie flat on the surface of the nail. A top fixer is applied over the powder and the nails are dried under the lamp.
Striping
Delicate manicure ideas are easy to implement, just purchase a roll of adhesive tape of the selected color. It is sold in nail art stores in a variety of colors. With it, you can make geometric ornaments,divide the nail into zones for staining with different colors. A simple manicure using adhesive strips is incredibly quick and easy.
It is enough to unwind the roll and attach the tape with the adhesive side to the surface of the prepared nail. Press it down well from all sides, especially in the places of the lateral tubercles. If you remove the tape later, then leave 1 cm on each side of the nail for convenience. Then, for the excess part, it is easy enough to pull and remove the strip. However, the nails on which the tape performs the pattern look great. You can make one strip vertically or horizontally, or you can lay out a lattice or crossed lines. After checking the correctness of their location on the plate, apply a top coat and dry the nails under the lamp. The strips are so flat and thin that they absolutely do not interfere with the manicure and remain intact until the end.
Easy brush drawing
Next, we will share with readers another interesting idea of \u200b\u200bgentle manicure. On a dark base with a thin brush, silver varnish is applied with a few strokes.
For such a pattern, put a dot in the center of the nail near the lateral tubercle. Thin lines are drawn from it in different directions, resembling willow leaves.
Ombre Sponge
Ombre style manicure is distinguished by gradual tints of colors or shades of gel polish. Apply it with a special dense sponge. First, cover the nail with the main tone and dry the surface with a lamp. Then brush strokes are applied to the spongeselected varnishes in the order of their location on the nail.
It remains only to wet the sponge on the nail. This can be done a couple of times to remove any air bubbles. Wipe excess varnish with a napkin. It turns out the original image, which even a novice master will make.
Helpful tips
